Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 69% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Professional clients can lose more than they deposit. All trading involves risk.
The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through a share dealing account, a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Question
Guest ChequeYour6
Hi guys,
Brand new to the whole trading game and just wanted to ask for (what I'm sure will be some really basic) advice. I (foolishly) assumed that it would be as simple as finding the shares you want to buy, seeing the price and then buying however many shares you want/need/can afford. I joined IG yesterday and I'm trying to purchase some shares (having a go with the demo first before using real cash). Every time I try and place an order or try to buy shares, it always tells me that my offer is rejected or unsuccessful and it always seems to be that the information or numbers I enter are incorrect or do not correlate in some way. Could someone please explain the meaning of "size" and "price level" and Stops and Limits? I know this is basic info, but as I said, I'm pretty green to this game. Thanks very much!
